Turning 30 can feel different from what you imagined. This third decade can give you the illusion that life will suddenly feel figured out, that you’ll be more stable, settled, and certain about where you’re headed. But that’s not always how it is, my friend. In this edition of ‘Things nobody tells you about,’ HT Lifestyle spoke to Dr Chandni Tugnait, MD, psychotherapist, life alchemist, coach and healer, founder and director of Gateway of Healing, to bring out what 30 actually looks like.
● You don’t magically change
30 is considered the turning point in life. Dr Chandni highlights that most personality traits are already fairly settled by this point, shaped over years rather than waiting to snap into place at a birthday. The parts of you that were anxious, impulsive, or laid back at 28 are largely still there at 30. Turning 30 doesn’t rewrite your character. It simply removes the excuse of youth for behaving the way you already do, day after day.
